Fast 500 Mantra: People First

by Alice Snell | June 12, 2006 No comments

The companies listed in the Deloitte Fast 500, which annually ranks the fastest growing companies, came with a report of what their CEOs called 2006 Technology Fast 500 CEO Survey Results. Taleo has been part of the Deloitte Fast 500 for a few years now and the results are music to our ears.

High-quality employees is the main mantra for this year with 66% of CEOs listing this as the most important factor to contribute to the growth of their company by far. Last year, only 24% cited this factor!!

As a consequence, 41% say the most important operational challenge had been to find and retain qualified employees (up from 27% last year). This is clearly the #1 issue and far ahead of any other!

Did we say that leading organizations are using Taleo to solve this challenge?
